Useful tips would be helpful & appreciated
Welcome!

I learned to wrench on British cars and VWs in the '60s and '70s. I loved them all!

I've been buying parts online from FCP recently. Very good quality, delivery and price.

Wevo makes semi-solid motor mounts that should definitely firm things up for you.

Congrats and welcome. Post some pics. I loved my TT's when I owned them but they are nothing like the 996, that's for sure.

This is good council. For some reason, some ppl try to scare you about IMS and the intermediate bearing.

Relax and enjoy your new nice car!
